What is the ANSWER to this situation? I am a single mother of 6 that has been given 4 months to find a new rental as my owner wants me to leave the house I have been renting in Cape Woolamai for 18months for 'no specific reason'. I have less than 2 months left, I have applied for dozens of houses, looked at houses that are over $400 a week .Even with my new job I cannot afford to pay over half my pay in rent.I need a house in wonthaggi ideally as I manage a store there but have also been looking at the island.How am I going to get one? Some agents have told their landlords they are asking too much..I have offered up to 350 a week ..which is still too high for me and I need to work 7 days a week to afford that. What is being done?? If I can't find a house before the 2 months is up I will be homeless and so will my children. I don't understand this, why can't someone step in and put a cap on how much landlords are permitted to charge...it is pure greed . If the desal plant had not offered their workers an exorbitant 'relocation' bonus , maybe the agents and landlords wouldn't have jumped on the greed band wagon. I lost one house to the mortgage company I can't fathom ending up homeless now.
What will you say to this lady Mr Holding? Do you expect her and her 6 kids to take one for the team?
Shame on you you are making those who have been just hanging on due to the finacial crisis homeless!
Are you proud of yourself?
